Alright fellas, enough bragging on your bus selling prowess's. You could've made even more Marc, if you took my offer...
Anyhoo, time to get back to work and find me a Shorty, either full sized pre 04 diesel or gas powered cutaway.
Cash is waiting...

As presented I would have made less, by far.
My options were:
Take $4k and Drive it to N.H. where I would need a rental car to get to the airport in Ct. to fly home. So at least 4 days off of work, fuel to get there($450), airfare, hotels, uber home from the airport. Or sit on my ass and wait for them to come to me. A bird in the hand so they say. Coulda, shoulda, woulda. I got what I needed/wanted out of it. If I find another, I'll let you know.
Hey guys, he's looking for a mid-full size bus has a reasonable budget for the purchase, help him out, needs to be handicap bus as he is in a WC.

Thanks for the bump for my bus search, Marc.
Not sure why you'd need to fly out of CT if you brought it up, as Manchester/Boston airport is less than 45 minutes from me. Also, I could/would have driven you to the A/P instead of uber/rental.
No biggie though, I understand its easier to have buyers come to you...

I have family/friends in my home state of Ct. I couldn't go north without stopping there. I still would have had to get an Uber from the Atl. airport to home 75 miles. It was not a drive I was looking forward to making. I made too many in the last few years just driving to just get there. My next trip will be beginning of Sept. Hopefully the bus will be completed enough to take it.

I am pleased you were able to quickly turn the bus considering how you came upon it and what you had to do to acquire it.
Have you made contact with the prior owner?

Dust in the wind since he got his money. The buyer was "concerned" about whether the seller might apply for a lost title and come after it. I showed him where I saved all our text conversations, bank withdrawal, cashiers check purchase, FedEx receipt sending him the money to the hotel room he text me., and a copy of his drivers license matching the name on the title. And the guy at the wrecker service that will back me up because the 3 of us all spoke at the same time to make the deal and the wrecker guy is the one who recommended I not send the title and had he know the title was there, could have sold the bus in 2 weeks instead of sending it to the crusher.

Just text the buyer to see if he made it home safely. Apparently the serpentine belt broke shortly after leaving my house. Had to pull the radiator in a Sam's Club parking lot. Bought it Tues. afternoon, going only about 85 miles, didn't get home till last night. Says he is quite familiar with bus parts now. Any repair will get you familiar.
